Thank you!

Jiuzhaigou Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a place of breathtaking beauty that seems to belong to another world. Located in the mountains of Sichuan Province, this valley, with its world-famous reputation, (witness) millions of visitors each year to a journey of a fairyland on earth.

The valley is named after the nine Tibetan villages (dot) throughout its area with its most iconic features — the multicolored lakes, crystal-clear water reflects the surrounding forests and sky in astonishing colors of emerald (翡翠).

Walking along the wooden plank (板条) paths, people feel as if they are stepping into living painting, where the air is fresh, and the silence is broken only by the sound of water (flow) or birds singing in the ancient trees. It is this    (harmony) combination of elements that makes Jiuzhaigou so unique.

However, a major earthquake causing significant damages happened in 2017, leading to a series of geological changes and the temporary (close) of the park. Since then, greater efforts (make) to restore its natural beauty and stricter tourist management policies have been carried out, like limiting the number of daily visitors to minimize human impact effectively.

Today, Jiuzhaigou stands a powerful model of nature's resilience and conservation, reminding us that we are not the owners of such wonders, their guardians. Preserving its splendor for future generations is a responsibility we all share.

I agreed with a reluctant sigh, perceiving it as totally   2.But as I watched father's hands work, something shifted. As he explained the   3 of each gear (齿轮) and the clock's history, his eyes   4 with a passion I had never noticed before.

We worked together for weeks. Slowly, the clock   5 its former elegance and charm, while I learned to wipe the delicate hands and gently   6 the glass. My impatience   7 fascination: I wasn't just cleaning; I was   8 a piece of family history.

The day we hung the clock was a day of pride. Its steady tick felt like a heartbeat. That experience taught me a   9 lesson. It wasn't about the clock, but the time spent with my father. I came to   10 the value of his wisdom and skills I had once   11.

Now every time I visit home, I check the clock and   12 it. It works not only as a beautiful artifact (手工艺品) but also as a   13 of the day I truly saw my father. His workshop was a shelter where patience and love could   14 anything broken. He would say, "Some things, like this clock and our bond, just need a little   15 to run forever."

With huge amounts of information at our fingertips in the social media-fueled Internet age, we are in theory better equipped to travel more and better. But for this Malta trip, we decided to do something different. We'd build the trip by talking to random locals. No guidebook allowed. No smartphone either — unless we were completely lost.

Approaching locals for travel tips can be awkward. So I came up with a trick: a deck of cards with common holiday questions. Locals would draw a card and give a tip based on it. We'd follow the tip, then ask them to recommend another local to help us.

How did it go? Philip, wonderful and friendly, introduced us to almost the whole island. When asked about his "favourite lunch spot", he drew the card and recommended Claire, who runs Mojo restaurant in Victoria. For the "favourite cafe" card, Claire suggested Gleneagles in Mgarr Harbour. It's run by approachable Tony-a goldmine for tips and stories.

Tony, a silver-haired man with a rough voice, was one such local. He told stories of his coffee shop's 40 years, full of emotions and old regulars. His words made those times almost tangible, making him a living connection to Gozo's past.

My message is simple. If you visit Malta, leave your guidebook and phone in your room. Go to a cafe, order a local drink, chat randomly with a local. It grows meaningful and exciting when we connect with locals. We learn their stories, and maybe gain a new perspective.

A. Our experiment started in Gozo with a local restaurant owner.

B. Malta has been known for its coastal scenery and ancient ruins.

C. At its core, travel revolves around genuine human connections.

D. There's no time machine, but some locals connect you to the past.

E. As a natural icebreaker, these cards served to reduce the awkwardness.

F. We visited many famous attractions recommended by travelers in Gozo.

G. Instead of overplanning with blogs, Instagram or guidebooks, we chose chance.

The idea of chronotherapy — giving drugs at right times — owes much to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which describes organs' activity peaks at specific times. French researcher Francis Lévi drew on this wisdom to explore cancer treatment: healthy cells divide fixedly, while cancer cells multiply uncontrollably. Since chemotherapy (化疗) targets rapidly dividing cells, Levi reasoned that giving drugs when healthy cells are "asleep" could boost effectiveness and reduce side effects.

Medical tests proved promising. Those who received chemotherapy at 6 am instead of 6 pm experienced far milder sickness and tiredness. Similar benefits emerged elsewhere: afternoon heart surgery is safer, and flu vaccines given between 9-11 am generate four times more antibodies than later in the day.

Yet chronotherapy faced a problem: everyone's internal clock varies by up to 12 hours. Measuring it used to be time-consuming — tracking melatonin (褪黑素) release required hours in darkness and frequent samples. Now, new tests using blood or even hair offer quicker results. For example, Germany's BodlyClock test analyzes clock gene activity in hair follicles (毛囊) to reveal internal time, helping tailor treatments.

These advances in determining our biological time not only support precision medicine but also the use of daily rhythms to enhance overall health. For instance, exposure to morning light helps advance the body clock, while minimizing evening blue light promotes sound sleep. Scheduling demanding mental tasks or intense exercise during personal peak cognitive and physical periods (typically afternoon to early evening) can boost performance.

By making use of our circadian rhythm - through timed treatments and rhythm - aware living - we can unlock longer, healthier lives.

Within ordinary urban landscapes, life displays extraordinary toughness and creativity. Plants and microorganisms not only survive but grow well in the heat and pollution of city gutters. Urban animals have also developed smart behaviors: Japanese crows use cars to crack nuts, and Australian cockatoos open trash bins for food. Furthermore, cities drive physical changes in their residents. Some lizards have developed stickier feet to better hold on smooth man-made surfaces. This concrete "jungle" is thus not a biological desert but a dynamic, human-made ecosystem, representing a fascinating new chapter in the story of life on our planet.

Therefore, the old image of a naturalist — a professional in remote wilds — is outdated. Academic papers and online courses make biology and ecology procurable to everyone. Community labs and nature clubs enable ordinary people to do research with microscopes and other simple tools. When we accept the city as a real ecosystem, we allow everyone to become a "community scientist".

For those feeling disconnected from nature in cities, there's a new way: just stay curious and notice the ignored ecological corners, and city life may be filled with new surprises and joys. You don't need to be a professional scientist — anyone can be a naturalist-explorer in the urban wilderness.

While initially desiring to become a physical therapist (治疗师), he found himself particularly drawn to education through his mother and stepfather, both seasoned educators on Long Island. After completing his specialized training at SUNY Cortland, he enthusiastically joined this school in 2021, valuing the opportunity to work with young students. Rather than conducting standardized drills, he uses multi-sensory strategies: pairing verbal instructions for pushups with visual step cards, and using soft foam (泡沫) balls to help those with motor skill challenges feel successful. For students uninterested in movement, he leans into their strengths — like creating a "rhythm jump-rope" activity for a music-loving student who dislikes team sports.

Nathaniel Marner, the school principal, described Dennehy as a "forward-thinking educator who constantly invents creative ways to engage students." This impact is perhaps best illustrated by the genuine feedback from his students. Fourth-grader Lopez also showed her ultimate approval, "He's cool." She further explained more about his appealing personality and the diverse activities he has introduced, from basic exercises to various sports.

Beyond the school's walls, Dennehy extends his educational impact through coaching the junior volleyball team and instructing student participation in regional fitness programs. Yet his most rewarding professional moment remains fundamentally simple: surveying his gymnasium to witness his students actively engaged, each face reflecting the genuine joy of movement — a proof to his success in making physical education an accessible source of confidence and well-being.

Like parks around the world, those in our region are feeling the impacts of climate change. As a registered nonprofit based in San Francisco, the Parks Conservancy is working in collaboration with the Presidio Trust and the National Park Service to help these parks — and the communities that depend on them — build resilience (韧性) against the backdrop of rapid environmental shifts. We also aim to increase understanding of climate-related threats to our parks, our local communities, and the planet, while driving meaningful action to address them.

This work looks a lot of ways, and often connects across multiple programs, projects, and park boundaries. It's all done in partnership with agencies, community partners, and community members, and reflects the need to address climate change at different scales.

Lily stared at the wrinkled rejection letter from the national art competition, her watercolor phoenix (凤凰) lying untouched beside her. As a senior three student struggling with college application stress and endless exams, she' d poured every ounce of frustration and hidden hope into the artwork — its blazing flames a metaphor for her desire to rise above overwhelming academic pressure. Yet the letter's cold judgment crushed her: "Looks seemingly flawless (完美的), yet lacks artistic expression, depth and meaning." In that moment, her confidence fell apart, the phoenix's fire fading as sharply as her own spirit.

For weeks, Lily locked her paintbrushes away, convinced her lifelong passion for art was a meaningless distraction from her college dreams. The studio she once frequented became a place of shame; she would quicken her pace whenever she passed, unable to face the reminder of her failure.

One afternoon after self-study, Lily entered the classroom to find a book on her desk, left by her art teacher Ms. Hale. Put inside was a short note: "Growth isn't about never falling — it's about learning to rise, just like your phoenix." Curiosity overcame her despair as she leafed through the pages, discovering an article titled Reflections on Reflecting. Its words struck a chord: "Self-awareness grows when we face our doubts, not flee from them."

As Lily re-read the note and article, she realized the judges' words weren't disapproval of her talent, but a challenge to dig deeper. In her pursuit of a "flawless" victory symbol, she had polished away the raw edges of her own struggle, leaving the phoenix technically impressive but emotionally distant. With renewed purpose, slowly, she took out her paintbrushes from the drawer. Instead of starting a new piece immediately, she felt a strong urge to revisit the phoenix — the very symbol of her failure, ready to fill it with the raw, authentic emotion she'd hidden before — rising, like her phoenix, from the ashes of self-doubt.

Rethinking Fast Food from Street Stalls

The 2025 "Xiangchao" (Hunan Football League) was far more than a sports event; it was social phenomenon that breathed new life into the province. Initially starting as local games, these events quickly crossed the boundaries of the sports field and brought together people from all walks of life, all (unite) by their love for the game.

The real magic happened beyond the pitch. Stadium squares were transformed into lively night markets, the air was filled with the inviting scent of local delicacies. This "event+consumption" model (prove) to be a powerful engine for the local economy. More importantly, it offered a unique platform to showcase rural specialties, from house-made chili sauce to local rice noodles, helping these products reach (wide) audiences and boosting farmers' incomes.

However, the most profound impact was on community spirit and youth development. Inspired by the players, many youngsters (draw) from screens to sports fields. In some villages, retired players and college students even started organizing free coaching and tutoring sessions beside the new courts, (combine) physical training with academic support. This spirit of self-reliance and joint effort is exactly drives sustainable rural revitalization.

Thus, a simple football has kicked wide-ranging developments — powering the economy, connecting communities, and building a brighter future. It shows how sports can go beyond (compete) to become a force for social good.

The cups were of all3 — porcelain, glass, clay; some plain and dull, some4 and exquisitely carved; a few inlaid with sparkling crystals. "Help yourselves to the coffee," the professor said, eyes twinkling with purpose.

The students5 and picked up the tray, eager to seize the finest cups, each striving for one that6 the rest. Plain, simple ones were left7 on the tray edge, unworthy of notice. With cups filling with coffee in hand, the professor leaned back and spoke.

"I've observed something telling," he said, glancing at their chosen cups. "You all picked out the eye-catching cups,8 the ordinary ones. But the cup itself adds no9 to the coffee. You were so fixed on the container that you barely noticed the coffee's rich fragrance."

The students fell silent,10 by his words. The professor continued, "Life is coffee; jobs, wealth and status are11. They are tools to12 life, but cannot alter its13. Fixing gaze on ‘cups' makes you14 missing life's genuine joy — the quiet fulfillment that15 our souls."

He paused, and then added softly, "The happiest don't have the best of everything. They simply make the best of what they have." The students nodded, grasping the lesson hidden in a cup of coffee.

On our social media accounts, we often display things like our opinions, connections and holiday photos. Maybe we don't want a random stranger knowing our favourite type of coffee. And cookies — there was a time they were just something nice to eat. Now they seem to be popping up on websites. So how can you stay more private? Here are tips to help you maintain your privacy online.

Check your social media privacy settings

Many social media platforms allow everything to be visible automatically, which can easily expose your daily tracks, contact details and even personal preference to strangers.. Don't let overexposure of your personal life become a risk to your online privacy.

Limiting the amount you share isn't only restricted to social media. There are many sites out there that help you to share documents — so a practical tip is not to put anything too private like passwords on these platforms. One wrong click may send your private data to the wrong person by accident.

Deal with website tracking files

Cookies are designed to improve your surfing experience by tracking and saving information about your visits to a site, helping to personalize your sessions. However, these cookies also pose privacy risks such as exposing your location, and even personal preferences.. Additionally, certain apps can block them if you feel uncomfortable with being tracked.

So, if you want to maintain your privacy online, maybe only share things you'd be happy with a stranger seeing — and if you don't feel comfortable with cookies,. If that's not enough, just don't accept them and visit another site — and why not have a yummy cookie to eat instead?

A. check if they are believable

B. Protect privacy beyond social media

C. Deleting your surfing history may help

D. So it is your responsibility to set your boundaries

E. you might decide to invest in some tech to block them

F. Stop talking to strangers who make you feel uncomfortable

G. However, everywhere we go online, we seem to leave a digital footprint

Two major practical difficulties stand in the way. First, EVs currently suffer from limited battery ranges compared to conventional vehicles, which can travel longer distances on a full tank of fuel. Second, charging infrastructure (基础设施) remains underdeveloped, with charging points still insufficient in most regions. These factors contribute to "range anxiety" among potential buyers, slowing the shift to electric transport.

On the technological front, solid-state batteries are viewed as a promising breakthrough. Though currently used mainly in consumer electronics like smartphones, they are expected to enter the car market in the coming years, offering quicker charging times and an extended driving range. This could significantly enhance the appeal of EVs to the general public.

Economically, high initial costs continue to be a barrier. However, some countries have introduced policy supports, such as tax reductions, purchase subsidies (补贴), and dedicated traffic lanes for EVs, helping to boost adoption rates. Norway serves as a leading example, with the highest number of electric cars per person globally.

Nevertheless, experts like Colin Herron caution that EVs alone do not equal a zero-carbon future. Their environmental impact depends heavily on how the electricity used to charge them is generated. If the power comes mainly from fossil fuels, the overall emission reduction is limited. In addition, manufacturing EVs — especially their batteries — carries a substantial carbon footprint. Therefore, a truly sustainable transport system may require not only cleaner cars, but also greater use of public transport and a societal move toward fewer and shorter private vehicle trips.

Previous studies identified that naturally occurring opioids (阿片类物质) in the brain play a crucial role in sugar desire. The main producers of these opioids are nerve cells located in a brain region that adjusts appetite, metabolism and hormones. Known as pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC，前阿片黑素细胞皮质激素) nerve cells, they also control feelings of satiety after eating.

To explore whether the cells also drive thirst for sugar, Henning Fenselau at the Max Planck Institute for Metabolism Research in Germany and his colleagues tracked the opioid signals the POMC cells send in the brain. The researchers monitored the activity of nerve cells in these regions as mice ate their usual food. When the animals seemed to be full, the team gave them a dessert of sugary chow. The results showed that, on average, the activity between the POMC nerve cells and the PVT (丘脑室旁核) roughly multiplied during dessert consumption, and even rose sharply before the mice started eating the sweets, proving this nerve pathway directly fuels sugar desire. When the team blocked signals from POMC nerve cells to the PVT, the mice consumed 40 per cent less dessert.

"The cell types, which are extremely well known for making people feel full, also release signals that cause the appetite for sugar, and they do so particularly in the state of being full," says Fenselau. "This would explain why animals — humans — over-consume sugar when they're actually full."

Chen calls herself "an artist made of paper", believing paper shapes both her creations and her thinking. Traditionally, the cut-out parts are abandoned and the intact (完好的) pattern is what people keep. Chen challenges this logic. "Can the hollow (镂空) itself become the main subject?" she asked. This reflection shaped her exhibition displayed on Paris's Champs-Elysees during the 2024 Summer Olympics. Chen imagines a world where paper is not just a craft material but the foundation of an entire civilization, presenting everything in symmetrical (对称的) paper-cut forms to convey a society built on control and balance.

"What matters to me is the logic of subtraction (减法)," she explained. "The interaction of solid and void (实与虚) in paper-cutting represents Eastern philosophies of coexistence." Surprisingly, when she introduced her work to Thomas Bach, president of the International Olympic Committee, he immediately brought up "yin and yang", making her realize it is a universal language of balance.

Another signature of Chen's work is her brave use of pink. Pink once was off-limits to her, for it symbolized the "good girl" image. It was not until 2016 that she reinterpreted pink as the natural color of Asian skin, a color of life itself and began to embrace it. Her pinks changed from soft to bright and striking. The shifting shades of pink mirror her growing courage to break free from old ideas.

In her view, the modern vitality of paper-cutting does not lie in color, form, or technique, but in the contemporary spirit and ideas it carries. "I want my works to draw attention, but more importantly, to make people think about the stories and realities they reflect."

Travelex Insurance Services provides three different kinds of trip protection. The Essential, Advanced and Ultimate plans are the company's single-trip travel insurance choices. Travelex's multiple optional upgrades include cancel for any reason coverage, rental car protection, adventure sports coverage, pet care benefits and more.

The company offers 10 travel insurance plans, including single-trip options, annual plans, and specialized car rental and emergency medical plans. The key plans for an individual vacation are OneTrip Basic, OneTrip Prime and OneTrip Premier. Basic is the most affordable. Prime is considered as the company's "most popular", and Premier is the option with the most comprehensive coverage.

It was a bitterly cold, snow-choked Christmas Eve when Yvonne White got a call from an unknown number. A strange, calm voice on the other end of the line said, "Hi. You don't know me, but I have your brother." It was Aughtry, a woman who would soon become the lifeline for Yvonne's brother, Joey — a gentle, mentally disabled man with a deep love for baseball and a lifelong routine as a cinema caretaker.

Days earlier, as the worst winter storm in decades bore down, Yvonne had repeatedly warned Joey not to leave his group home. He'd promised to stay put, but the familiar pull of his routine proved too strong. He wandered out into the rapidly worsening white-out, heading toward the cinema where he'd worked for over twenty years, only to get lost within blocks. Hours later, he collapsed exhausted in a snowbank, his cries of pain cutting through the howling wind.

Aughtry, a mother of three, heard his screams from inside her home. Without hesitation, she and her son braved the blinding storm, following the sound until they found Joey, half-frozen and barely conscious, his hands already swollen with severe frostbite. They carried him inside, carefully peeled off his ice-caked clothes, and spent hours warming him with a hair dryer and blankets, his body still trembling violently. Joey, in his delirium (精神错乱), was surprisingly able to recite Yvonne's phone number from memory. When Aughtry finally reached her, Yvonne could only listen in terror, trapped indoors by the impassable snow and ice outside.

For the following two days, Aughtry and her family provided continuous care for Joey, but it was just getting worse and worse. They made several urgent calls to emergency services, describing the severity of his condition. Each time, they were told that all major roads were blocked, covered by a thick layer of ice, making it impossible for emergency vehicles to navigate the area. Assistance was nowhere to be found.

The Rickshaw (人力车) Run is one of the world's most unusual races. It lasts for two weeks and takes place in India. Each team (consist) of one rickshaw and one to four drivers. The Rickshaw is designed to transport light loads in short distances, makes the event such a challenge.

The race takes place twice a year: once in the summer once in the winter. The route is different, but the (long) is always about 2,500 km long. The race is a lot of fun, but it also has a serious side for all participants. They should raise at least one thousand pounds for charity.

The first race took place in 2006 with 34 teams. Since then, the Rickshaw Run (become) famous around the world. A few days before the race, participants don't know how to drive a rickshaw, they will receive a crash course (make) sure they can control it during the race. They can also use the pre-race time to decorate their rickshaws and ask any last-minute questions.

"The adventure really starts when things go wrong," said one participant. "We blew hole in our rickshaw, but I saw the most beautiful town in India!" said another. And as the organizers say on their website, "There's no set route, no back-up, no way of (know) if you're going to make it. The only certainty is that you will get lost, you will get stuck and you will break down."

Are you ready some real adventure?
